For your privacy and safety reasons, it is better to buy gold bars on physical stores. We may not be from the same country, so my answers may also not be accurate if I give some locations of where you can buy it.

There are tokenized gold. The one that I know of is PAXG. It has a marketcap of $534,238,220 and a good trading volume. Maybe you can buy some of this also. If you have high amount of money, I will recommend you to buy real gold and little of this tokenized gold.

Bitcoin was created to be an unstable coins, it can not become stable.

You are not looking at the reality, that bitcoin will increase in price and reach all-time-high. Bitcoin volatility has helped many people to make money.

Who is saying that? I have not heard that from anyone before.

Bitcoin is actually an asset. Bitcoin is money.

This can not solve anything, it will only make the mempool to become something else. Considering higher fee is better and it will make mining to be more profitable. If the fee is set to just 1 sat/vbyte for all transactions, the mempool will still be congested as it is now and no transaction will have higher chance to be confirmed, so why not accepting higher fee instead so that higher fee ones would first be confirmed which is how it is and it is better.

More exchanges are using lightning network. You can look at these exchanges, they are all supporting lightning network:


Paxful has begin operation back, it is no more closed.

Ordinals Inscriptions is the cause of increase in mempool congestion. After Ordinals NFT, there is now ways to create fungible tokens called BRC-20 which led to the more in the rise of mempool congestion. BRC-20 marketcap has surpass $1 billion.

Some people call it another scam. But during the days when Ethereum blockchain started ERC20 and ERC721 (NFTs), some people were saying that it is the beginning of scam. Yes many people were scammed and many people lost money, but there are many of these altcoins tokens that are surving now.

The mempool is far from getting less congested. Bitcoin transaction fee is too much and becoming unbearable.

What do you think can solve what is happening? How can the mempool become not congested again. More miners needed or what?

Thank you to our campaign managers, the transaction has been confirmed now.

Binance pay for what, what should an exchange has to do with this? Nothing. Who can believe in the proof of payment? Only Binance. There is nothing better like making use of onchain transaction and using txid as proof of payment.

An altcoin address can be requested for in case of time like this. Campaign managers can pay in altcoins during memory pool congestion which is an alternative. When the mempool is better and not congested as it it now, campaign manager can continue to pay in altcoins is what I think.

@cryptofrka, it is left to you people to decide, but we have seen something like that before, not that you are paying in altcoin, but because of how the mempool is just congested for now. There are also lenders that are on bitcoin lending board that are also lending stable coins which are definitely altcoins and their thread has not been moved to altcoin board because they lend people bitcoin. If altcoin payment is convenient for you now, why not use it. Not that you are using it actually, when the mempool is back to normal, you use bitcoin again.

I may not be right, but this is just the way I think about it. But the mempool is getting better unlike when it increased to 600 sat/vbyte, now below 200 sat/vbyte.

In everything you do, I am okay with it. You are the best campaign managers. If bitcoin is always used for payment, I am good with it.

There is bear market again but it is certain that bitcoin will get to all-time-high. It may take a year or two years before this would happen but it would definitely happen.

It is not even a bear market to me yet until I see bitcoin at $23000 to $20000 again in the bear trend. This will make me buy bitcoin again significantly. All-time-high is certain.

If the mining hashrates dropped to the extent that people are just using CPU to mine bitcoin, the blockchain security would have reduced so much and it may harm the blockchain.

What I know is that all countries can not agree to all ban bitcoin. As one country will ban it, the other country will support it. This is according to what we have seen. Nothing will stop miners to use ASICs.

The fee was adjusted from 0.0002 BTC to 0.001 BTC. That means the increase is  5 time higher than before. You can see Stompix explanation about how Binance still make money because they send to many addresses at a time, but Binance has to consolidate inputs too though.

Binance just want to start bitcoin lightning payment, it is good. If more wallets and exchanges support lightning network, more people will use it. But what I do not like about it is that it is not your coin if it is not your node, most people are not having their own node.

China banned bitcoin mining, but Chinese miners are now the second largest. When China banned bitcoin mining, Kazakhstan become the second largest, but now third largest. Kazakhstan makes bitcoin mining legal and see what that happened recently, the tax Kazakhstan government made from crypto mining.

Kazakhstan collected $7M in crypto mining taxes in 2022

All governments can not decide one day that they want to ban bitcoin mining. As one government will ban it, another government sees it as opportunity to mine.

Cashback is not a bonus.

First time deposit for newly registered users, rakeback and free spins are the bonuses that I know. Another bonus that I noticed on casinos and other gambling sites are the ones that are given often, especially the ones given to the gamblers that are becoming not active.

I like all bonuses like free spin and welcome deposit bonus.

The mempool has gotten congested to the level Binance is no more charging 10x higher. The mempool is becoming something else. Because Binance process transactions with many outputs, if not that, Binance would have been paying more.

Until the network is stabilized sound like it is pertaining to the network, I mean how the mempool is currently congested. If not it, it will still be indirectly related to it.

Bitcoin fee on Binance was 0.0002 which is $5.78 when bitcoin is at $28900.

This is what the mempool is say: mempool.space $8.15 for highest fee at 201 sat/vbyte.

That is another lesson for those that depends on custodial means of saving. There is nothing better than noncustodial wallet which you can use and have complete control of your coins.

We are traders too, using the amount of money we can lose to trade. It is nothing that we should consider than to wait.

Some people bought bitcoin at over $60000. If bitcoin get to $50000 and start to fall again, or if bitcoin is not going beyond $50000 for now, that means it is not yet a full recovery. Let us see what would happen though. People are suggesting that bitcoin may not go beyond $40000 after using last halving for their analysis.

You can not get $20000 to $50000 on the poll. It will make the guess to be boring and have lesser option to select and make it more easy to predict. Bitcoin had increased above $30000 in this year. Which means you can still choose between $30000 to $40000 or $40000 to $50000.

What did you mean? You mean that gambling is not seen as something good in your area? Or that because gambling is not seen as something good in your area, people are not gambling on land based casinos and they will prefer to gamble online?

If it is the second that you meant, because something is not legal does not mean there are no shaddy places that something like that is not done in that country. Also in online casinos, if you read their terms of service, many countries or regions are not allowed to gamble too. But there are ways gamblers still try to gamble, though their money is more at risk.

I enter the site URL now and it took me to their main page, but this does not mean that it is not yet a scam. Sending email will not be a problem because I do not think the email will not go through, but their may be no response from the developers or customer care.

Their admins are not known to the public, why should people trust them. I can not trust that kind on service.

I did not login because I do not have an account with them. Also I do not know about the withdrawal, but withdrawal is the most important thing. If no one can withdraw their money for some days now with their admin not saying anything yet, this can be a possibly scam.

The only one that I know of is gold backed coins like PAXG, but which I have only seen on spot market and on some centralized exchanges. If you want to create yours, you can try it, but if people do not go for the idea and buy such coin, it will only be a shit coin. There are many assets and commodities that are tokenized, but most of them are found on commodity trading sites.

I think he only means that for people to be able to sell which can make its price to fall.

Yes, no coin pegged with crude oil. I which it is tokenized but I did not see anything like that yet.

I am using Kucoin and no KYC required yet. People can be thinking that Kucoin may require KYC later because of the regulatory pressure. Some weeks ago, Kucoin was unable to meet the regulatory requirements in Canada and they are no longer able to provider exchange service to Canadians.

What makes you not to trust Bybit? I use the exchange too. The withdrawal on all the exchanges that I am using are very fast, not only on Bybit. Among the ones listed here, I use Huobi global, OKX, Bybit and Kucoins. They all have fast withdrawal.

What I did not like about Paxful was that anyone can create ads, I left the exchange more than two years ago. I prefer exchanges that people have made up to certain number of trades and that have account registered for certain number of days before creating ads, rather than anyone that just open an account. Maybe this changed after I left. What made me more discouraged is when they made KYC mandatory.

Paxful is not P2P exchange. P2P exchanges are decentralized, not centralized. Example of a decentralized exchange which is regarded as P2P is Bisq.

I too will not advice anyone to use Paxful for now too, there are many platforms now that you can exchange to fiat.
